Method
Dough Preparation
- 1
Make the Dough
In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour and salt. Gradually add warm water while kneading the dough. Knead until the dough is smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.
Filling Preparation
- 2
Prepare the Filling
In a mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, minced ginger, chopped green chili, chopped cilantro, soy sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Assembly

Stuff the Mo:Mo
Divide the rested dough into small balls (about the size of a golf ball). Roll each ball into a thin circle (about 3-4 inches in diameter). Place a spoonful of the chicken filling in the center of each circle. Fold the dough over to create a half-moon shape and pinch the edges to seal. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.
Frying
- 4
Fry the Mo:Mo
Heat oil in a deep pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the filled Mo:Mo into the oil. Fry in batches until they turn golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
